Sam Harris has a good discussion on the impact of phones.  I don't like the tendency to moralize a medium.. to impart good/bad on a piece of equipment, but the devil's advocate role Harris plays provides a good back-and-forth to examine plusses and minusses.

I'm being swayed now.

Pretty interesting denigration of 'black politics' in this conversation.

http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1215-hunter-biden

Hunter Biden on his life, his horrible addiction...

I don't usually feel a lot of sympathy for addicts but I acknowledge their troubles.  And it seems like the Burisma job was legit.

Aside from that, another rich white guy who gets 1000 chances...

But you may like it.

Do rich black guys get fewer chances?

Remember Sailor Socialism ?  She was the inspiring young cutie who held her own against an InfoWARS she-witch a few years back.

Unbeknownst to me, I have been listening to her hilarious podcast Red Scare... https://redscarepodcast.libsyn.com/bruenig-derangement-syndrome

She is one of two hosts.

This is part of something called the 'dirtbag left', apparently, which is a refreshingly careless examination of the deplorable state of our political culture.  It doesn't pay attention to the wokeness guidelines, but skewers self-satisfied liberal 1% supporters.

I can take or leave their opinions but I find it entertaining... like a reality show vibe but with smarter participants.

I liked her attitude in the video....  treating these parasites at infowars with disdain. 

Did she just step off the USS Bernie Sanders???  What’s with the outfit?

"Left is not Woke" - CBC Ideas

Nothing too deep, but simply an old leftist saying mostly that "woke is not enough".  Policing words is easier than making change.

Very middle of the road treatment and point of view HOWEVER it shows that the conversation is more open than some would admit.

Worth a listen

Sam Harris talks about "meganet"

He touches on the contradictions between freedom of assembly and freedom of association.

Nadine Strossen, former ACLU lead talking in-depth about Free Speech.

https://youtu.be/2gd5-KoOosA?si=i6Uqcbtz1u4i3dbV

A left liberal and a Marxist align with the free speech absolutism of the right.

She gives a very well based, lucid and intelligent case for Free Speech. 

Definitely worth a listen to strengthen ones understanding of the topic, however I am still not convinced BC ultimately assessing the impact of policies is an informed guess.
